Writing as Therapy

I look to a lined notepad and stack of pens and see my future awaiting to be written across some resemblance of skeins stretched across time and space. I am thrilled but hesitant to write that first word for it will determine the rest of the textual element of this particular exceptional human experience.

What is the exceptional human experience (EHE) defined from a transpersonal perspective? In studying TS:501 Introduction to Transpersonal Studies back in July of 2001, I discovered the EHE is everything we encounter with or without reaction. It is realized that exceptionality must be part of the definition. To say nothing is important or all is good is the nurturing of fallacy; BUT the EHE accepts fallacy as part of the whole life experiment. In understanding this I categorize my writing as free-association and instinctual using feeling and sensing as tools for creative expressionism.

At conception a decision has been made about the basics i.e. gender, eye color, hair color, blood type, and any genetic markers carried into this 'infant' host. The essence, energy filling the form of this host, is pure before birth and eludes us effortlessly over time where almost, upon death do we remember and return to our true nature. But why take a lifetime to live what is truly available to you to live by right now. In writing I tell myself this is therapeutic as I text a life I want to live, or text I life I am living and see if anyone lives the way I do. I am sharing, I am growing, I am teaching and most importantly, I am learning.

When I look back at how I lived life traditionally but wrote about it transpersonally, that someday avenues would be reversed and I would be making my way back to complete wellness of mind, body and spirit, I breathe a sigh of relief !
